12.4.3 Deleting resources

WebClient also allows the removal of resources by way of its delete() method. For example, the following code deletes an ingredient for a given ID:

Mono<Void> result = webClient
  .delete()
  .uri("/ingredients/{id}", ingredientId)
  .retrieve()
  .bodyToMono(Void.class);

result.subscribe();

As with PUT requests, DELETE requests don’t typically have a payload. Once again, you return and subscribe to a Mono<Void> to send the request.
